Wii in KW

Good Luck to you.

Can you confirm this? If they are going on Friday I will need to leave very soon. It's almost 6:30 pm here. If they are not going out until the 18th I will be in Toronto

UPDATE

I just called the guy at the Kitchener Best Buy (this is at 6:20 pm on Thursday) and he said that they WILL be selling wii's tomorrow morning. I know that calling get's lots of false info, but usually it's in the form of "No Idea". The guy confidantly said they would be selling them tomorrow morning, so I'm lining up. Of course, I still hope they get 100.

Nope, cant get ahold of the person who told me that (and it was Tuesday, so...) I hope they have 100 as well. I just drove by (1130pm). Must be 30 people sitting there already. This is retarded. Its raining and I'm tired. I'll try at 5am and see what happens.

I went to the Kitchener Best Buy this morning but no luck. I got there at 2:30 am and there were 19 people in line for 18 wiis so I went home. I need to go earlier next time. Like, more than 12 hours earlier it seems =/

Hey message to anyone who went to the Kitchener best buy and was turned away by the mob of 19 people (they had 18 units) and our 42 inch plasma with movies going all night, I was one of em. I GOT A WII. I was there at 7:30 with two other people, we were 9,10, and 11. At 8:15 the 18th person came.

Dissapointment today. I've been phoning Futureshop for the past week, they've been saying the 15th, so I go on the 15th, and guess what? No Wiis.

Did you ever think some people go there with their friends and aren't actually buying? It's called unity

It's in this week's flyer. I asked a manager who works there and he said 4 am would be a good time to show up to get one.

Congradulations! It looked like a great set up you had and would have been a good night for it (besides the rain) because it was so warm. I wish I had went out earlier instead of going to Morty's.

I called my local Zellers (the Zellers at Laurentian Power Centre in Kitchener, there are more in town and one in Waterloo too, so try calling there as well if you are still looking in KW) and they are getting 6 tomorrow. I have an exam at 9 am tomorrow and I haven't slept since 6:30 pm on Thursday though. Curses. Looks like I'll try cammping in Toronto tomorrow night when I go visit my folks.
